Ok, just so I get this right. That was in the arcade?...
I've been on a fighting game kick lately and have been tossing around what games to get on XBLA to play with my new arcade stick (WWE Brawl Stick, give me a break its my first stick and it works surprisingly well).
One of them that keeps coming up is Marvel vs. Capcom Origins. However I've always had this insane hangup about the first MvsC, the War Machine palette swap.
Since Iron Man is one of my favorite super heroes and my favorite comic series it always bugged me to no end that they just used a recolor of him for War Machine who should actually be a lot bulkier than the '94 Iron Man suit. They even updated the rest of the art to look like War Machine, they were just too lazy to update the in-game sprite.
Strangely though I really like the game, in many ways more than MvsC2 because of its balance. It's also one of the games that convinced me to get a Dreamcast, but I've never owned it because of this insignificant flaw that bugs me like nails on a chalkboard.

I seem to recall there being some weird rights issue that didn't allow them to simply use Iron Man. This was apparently sorted out in time for MvC2.
Not technically, but it was a bright red faster version of Venom that focused on some of the nastier-looking attacks and had that swirling after-image effect reminiscent of how Carnage's symbiote flails around. If nothing else, I always figured the intent was clear.
